Xie Yuan hid behind Madam Xie's wife, looking timid.
Being named by Gu Gong, she trembled all over, and cried when she saw it.
She just cried and didn't speak, looking like she was being bullied.
If people who don't know this see it, they will definitely misunderstand that she has been bullied by Tianda, but they dare not speak out due to various reasons.
Gu Gong has a fiery temper, "Why are you crying? Did I do anything to you? Tell me clearly, did I treat you lightly that day?"
It was fine if he didn't say anything, but Xie Yuan cried even harder when he said it.
Xie Ping jumped out, "Gu Gong, don't deceive people too much. I saw with my own eyes that day that you sent your sister home, and you even held her hand and held her in your arms. What is this not frivolity? "
"Fart! Which eye did you see? Xie Ping, don't rely on me not to hit women, you just talk nonsense. Believe it or not, I will beat you."
Gu Gong's violent temper pissed him off.
"Who are you going to beat?" Xie Shi asked Gu Gong sharply.
Gu Gong was a little afraid of Xie Shi, Xie Shi had practiced for two years and was very imposing.
Gu Cheng frowned, "Xie Shi, what do you think? The old man kindly sent Xie Yuan home, but in the end he was slandered and belittled Xie Yuan. It stands to reason that our Gu family should ask your Xie family for an explanation."
Xie Shi sneered, "How important is the reputation of a girl's family, Gu Cheng, don't you know? In the public, sister Yuan was treated lightly by Gu Gong, and all the neighbors saw it. Wait until next year when sister Yuan talks about her marriage. The matter will definitely be found out. Tell me, what good marriage can Sister Yuan talk about?"
"Ridiculous!" Gu Gong yelled angrily, "Xie Shi, I thought you were a man, but I didn't expect you to spout blood. Your Xie family is really dirty. You just wanted me to be responsible and married Xie Yuan. I told you You guys are dreaming."
Xie Shi sneered, raised his hand, and hit Gu Gong in the face.
"Dare to attack our Gu family, do you really think there is no one in the Gu family?"
Gu Ting, who got out of nowhere, jumped up and kicked Xie Shi on the back.
Xie Shi heard the wind behind him and hurriedly dodged. As soon as he turned around, he fought with Gu Ting.
The two fought from the hall to the courtyard, and the fight was inextricable, and it was difficult to tell who was superior for a while.
Gu Gong's mouth widened, and he couldn't believe it, "Third brother will help me get ahead?"
It seems that the third brother doesn't hate him that much.
Gu Cheng glared at him, "You can solve the troubles you caused by yourself."
Gu Gong yelled, "Xie Yuan, tell the truth, did I treat you lightly?"
Xie Yuan still only knew how to cry and refused to speak.
"Absurd, presumptuous!"
Mr. Gu looked at the two people who were beaten to death in the yard, and angrily slapped the table.
Mrs. Xie also shouted: "Hurry up and stop him, we can't beat him anymore."
Mr. Gu stood up from the chair, rushed out in two steps in three steps, trying to pull away the two people who were fighting.
Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Ma, wept, "My life is miserable. Your Gu family is really bullying people too much, bullying people too much! You don't even want to let the orphans and widows go, do you want to kill them all?"
"Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense. What's the matter, you can't just listen to your one-sided words." Mrs. Xie angrily scolded Mrs. Ma.
Mrs. Ma pulled Xie Yuan, "Tell your aunt, did Gu Gong treat you lightly? Tell me. Are you dumb?"
Gu Ping was also joining in the fun, "Sister, tell me quickly. With your mother and elder brother making decisions for you, you are not afraid that the Gu family will not admit it."
Xie Yuan gritted her teeth and opened her mouth to speak.
"Miss Xie, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. What happened that day, as long as there are enough people, we will be able to find the witnesses of that day. When the witnesses are found, Miss Xie, do you know what will happen? Are there any consequences?"
Gu Jiu walked in from the door, looking at Xie's mother and daughter with a half-smile.
Xie Yuan shivered.
Ma Shi was stunned, "You are Gu Jiu!"
"Presumptuous!" Mother Fang stood up, "Madam's name is something you can call. This time, you are a first-time offender and a widow, so don't care about it. Next time, I will definitely not take it lightly."
The corner of Ma Shi's mouth twitched, "What a majesty!"
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "As the emperor's grandson's wife, how can she not be majestic. Mrs. Xie, are you right?"
Mashi was a little guilty.
Gu Jiu looked at Xie Yuan again, "Miss Xie, have you thought about what to say?"
"Sister, don't be afraid. I saw what happened that day with my own eyes, and the Gu family can't help it." Xie Ping encouraged Gu Yuan.
Gu Jiu glanced at Xie Ping, "This is Miss Ping? Miss Ping said, you saw what happened that day with your own eyes. Excuse me, where and when did you see it? What were you doing at that time?"
Xie Ping said: "I saw it at the door of my house, and I didn't do anything at that time."
"It's nonsense." Gu Jiu sneered, "You said you saw it at the door of your house. What does the concierge of your Xie family do for food? Can you allow a big girl like you to stay in the concierge? What you can see, your concierge can't see. , are you blind? You have nothing to do, so you ran to the porter to stay, do you think all the people here are three-year-olds?"
Xie nodded secretly, Gu Jiu's analysis made sense.
Even Mr. Gu who was standing outside the door felt that he was justified. He re-entered the hall, pointed at Xie Ping, and said angrily: "Dare to give false testimony to wrong the son of the official, beware of lawsuits. Under the power of killing, if you don't believe me Dishonest confession."
Xie Ping trembled all over, and then burst into tears.
"I didn't lie, I really didn't lie. That day, I heard a servant in the yard say that my sister was sent back by a man. I was curious, so I sneaked up on the courtyard wall. I saw everything secretly. I didn't lie."
Gu Jiu smiled contemptuously, "It turns out that even a girl can climb up the courtyard wall of Xie's house casually. Mrs. Xie, this lady doubts whether the gate control of your Xie's house is strictly controlled. Don't let cats and dogs climb the wall to get in, frivolous Miss Xie Yuan, but in the end you climbed onto Gu Gong's body."
Mashi jumped up anxiously, "Gu..."
"Huh?" Mother Fang glared angrily.
Mrs. Ma hurriedly changed her words, "Mrs. Zhao, you can't just talk nonsense. The gate control of our Xie family is very strict, and what happened to Ping girl can only be called an accident."
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "It doesn't matter whether it was an accident or not. If Mrs. Xie is sensible, she will take someone away now, and the Gu family won't bother to care about you.
If you insist on framing and biting me, I'm sorry, the Gu family is not easy to bully.
Come, go back to the palace and call seventy or eighty guards to find out what happened that day for Mrs. Ben. Did Gu Gong belittle Miss Xie Yuan? "
"I said!" Xie Yuan cried and finally opened her mouth.
Gu Jiu raised her hand, Bai Zhong consciously stepped back and stood behind her. Then he winked at Song Zheng again.
Song Zhengxin understood, and went to the courtyard to separate the two people who were beaten to death.
"Miss Xie, tell me what the truth is."
Gu Gong ran in from the outside, "Xie Yuan, speak clearly. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
Master Gu kicked him on the buttocks, "I will deal with you later."
Gu Gong immediately shrank back, not daring to be arrogant.
Xie Yuan finally calmed down, facing everyone's eyes, feeling uneasy.
Mrs. Xie Ma Shi pulled her, "Yuan girl, you have to think clearly."
Xie Yuan nodded, and then said: "I took my maid to the street that day, but I was bumped into and fell to the ground. It was indeed Gu Gong who helped me up and sent me back. During the period, we also talked a lot, Also make an appointment to meet again in the future.”
Everyone looked at Gu Gong together.
Gu Gong felt a little guilty, "I just saw that my cousin was pitiful, and I couldn't bear to reject her, so I promised to meet again in the future."
Xie Yuan looked at Gu Gong sadly, "I'm not surprised when you say that. After all, no one expected what happened today."
Gu Gong dodged Xie Yuan's gaze.
Xie Yuan continued: "He sent me home. When I was at the door, I invited him in for tea, but he refused. Because the steps were wet and slippery, I didn't step on it firmly and fell. Fortunately, Gu Gong caught me and didn't let me go. I fell to the ground. Sister Ping must have seen this scene."
"Ah?" Gu Ping covered her mouth, "Is that so? I just thought that Gu Gong was belittling my sister and scolded him for my sister."
Gu Gong bared his teeth at Xie Ping, "If you dare to wrong me without knowing the truth, I think you are the culprit."
Xie Ping shrank his neck, "I'm just telling what I saw, is there something wrong?"
Xie Yuan shook her head, "Sister Ping is not at fault, but I am the one who is at fault. It is I who did not tell the truth in time, and it is I who thought about things that I shouldn't have, which caused me to make such a fuss today. Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Zhao, If you want to punish, punish me alone. Please don't implicate my family."
Gu Jiu said meaningfully: "Miss Xie is indeed a sensible person."
Xie Yuan's remarks, combined with her lovely and pitiful appearance, will not make people feel annoying, but will make people feel pity.
Gu Gong scratched his head, blamed himself, and was a little embarrassed, "Sister Yuan, I was also at fault for this matter. I shouldn't have questioned you as soon as I came here. Are you scared?"
Xie Yuan shook her head calmly, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."
Gu Gong became more and more embarrassed.
Gu Jiu lowered her head and smiled sarcastically.
To deal with a stunned young man like Gu Gong, Xie Yuan can beat him to death with three or two moves.
Are men too stupid, or are women too thoughtful
"Have you explained everything clearly?"
Gu Ting wiped the red and swollen corners of his mouth, and walked in from the outside.
With his own strength, Song Zheng finally separated the two people who were beaten to death.
Gu Gong jumped up, "Thank you, third brother. Everything has been explained clearly, it was all a misunderstanding."
"Hmph! Since it was a misunderstanding, why didn't you make it clear earlier. I got into a fight with someone surnamed Xie." Gu Jue was very dissatisfied, and flashed his fist at Gu Gong.
Gu Gong thought to himself, it was indeed his illusion before. The third brother, as always, was honest with him.
Gu Yue stood under the eaves, watching everything indifferently.
From beginning to end, she did not enter the hall.
She looked towards Xie Shi.
Xie Shi stood in the yard, stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, Gu Ting's hand was too dark, so he specially greeted him on the face.
Of course, Gu Ting didn't take advantage of it either.
It's just that Gu Ting is on duty in the military camp, so it doesn't matter if there are marks on his face, and the army doesn't look at his face.
But he is working in the palace, with this appearance, how can he meet people.
In the next few days, he can only take leave. Wait until the redness, swelling and bruises on the face disappear before going to work.
He met Gu Yue's eyes, and looked away in an instant.
The two didn't exchange a word, but they both knew each other's thoughts.
Xie Shi bowed his head and laughed at himself. Then strode toward the hall.
Gu Yue's gaze followed his figure with a complicated expression. But in the end she didn't say a word.
Xie Shi pointed at Mrs. Ma, "Sister-in-law, today is all your fault. If you had asked the matter clearly in advance, why would you have such a big misunderstanding."
Mrs. Ma burst into tears, "I'm seeking justice for my daughter, is there something wrong? Sister, you are now the wife of a servant, you can't dislike the poor and love the rich, and forget about your mother's family."
Xie shivered with anger, "Stop talking nonsense."
Mr. Gu snapped, "Shut up! Now that the matter has been made clear, for the sake of relatives, I will not care about your mistakes today. If you are sensible, leave quickly."
Marshal Ma was stunned, as if he still didn't want to leave.
Master Gu stared, "What's the matter, do you still want to stay and drink?"
Mrs. Ma smiled obsequiously, "Brother-in-law Gu, it's almost noon, why don't we just leave our family to drink before leaving. The two families are relatives after all."
Master Gu sneered, "Forget it! I don't entertain uninvited guests."
Ma Shi was embarrassed, but he didn't give up, and planned to stay with the cheek.
Xie Shi was the first to get impatient, "Since everything has been clarified, let's go home quickly. Mother, don't be ashamed."
Seeing that Xie Shi had a straight face, Mrs. Ma seemed to be angry, so he gave up the idea of staying.
She said: "Then, then listen to you. We will go home now."
Xie Shi walked in front, looking very impatient.
Mrs. Ma smiled at Mrs. Xie, "Sister, remember to go back to your natal family when you have time. After all, you married from Xie's family to Gu's family, and Xie's family is your root."
Xie rolled her eyes, "Thank you sister-in-law for reminding me."
Mashi said cheerfully, "You're welcome."
Xie Ping was afraid that Gu Jiu would find her, so she left in a hurry.
Xie Yuan walked at the back, looking lonely and sad.
Gu Gong hesitated to speak several times, but in the end he still didn't speak.
Xie Yuan suddenly looked back at him, there seemed to be a thousand words in her eyes, but she refused to say a word. Then turned his head, faster and faster, faster and faster.
Gu Gong was angry.
He is not angry with others, but angry with himself.
In a fit of anger, he simply left and went back to his room to drink.
Master Gu said angrily: "Stinky boy, stop for me."
Gu Gong stopped in his tracks and looked back, Master Gu seemed to be about to beat him up.
If you don't run now, when will you wait
Gu Gong rubbed oil on his feet and ran so fast that he disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Mr. Gu can't catch up, even if he asks his servants to catch up, he can't catch up. My heart hurts with anger, "Niezi, Niezi! It's really unfortunate that my family gave birth to this Niezi."
"Master calm down. It's not too late to teach him after the banquet." Mrs. Xie comforted Mr. Gu.
Gu Gong caused such a big mess this time, and a good banquet was seen as a joke, so it really deserved to be beaten.
Master Gu snorted and vented his anger at Mrs. Xie, "Look at what kind of good deeds you Xie family have done. You specially chose the day when I was happy to come to your house to make trouble. It is clear that I deliberately did not give me face. It is too much to bully people. If you don't look at them They are orphans and widowed mothers, and this official will not stop there."
Mrs. Xie became aggrieved, "Why are we thanking the family. The concubine has been the Gu family since the day she married the master. The master really wronged me this time."
Master Gu snorted, shook his sleeves and left.
Mrs. Xie wiped away her tears, and said to everyone: "It's nothing. Go greet the guests, don't let people see the joke."
Gu Jiu got up and was about to go back to the wing.
She walked out of the hall and saw Gu Yue standing under the eaves. She felt a little strange, "Has the third sister been standing here all this time? Why don't you go in?"
Gu Yue said: "I have filial piety, so how can I go in at will. Anyway, with the second sister here, the matter can definitely be resolved. Even if it can't be resolved, it's a big deal to use power to overwhelm others, and the Xie family can know what's going on."
Gu Jiu looked Gu Yue up and down, always felt that there was something strange about Gu Yue, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
Gu Zhen smiled sarcastically, "The third younger sister kept saying that she was filial and could not offend others. Then why did she go back to her mother's house today? Don't you know that it will offend my father's joy?"
Gu Yue grinned at Gu Zhen, "Father, as an official of the imperial court, is upright, so naturally he is not afraid of my collision."
After speaking, she turned her head and left.
Gu Zhen snorted, and muttered, "How dare you be arrogant even at this moment. Second sister, just watch, she must be holding back something bad again."
"She won't return to her mother's house until next year, let's talk about it next year." Gu Jiu said indifferently.
Gu Zhen asked: "Second sister is sure she will go back to her mother's house?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "She's still so young, wouldn't it be too cruel to ask her to be a widow for the rest of her life. She herself certainly doesn't want to stay in Haixibo House. A widow has no right to speak in her husband's house."
Gu Zhen deeply agrees.
